Both novels extend finished manga past their final chapters, and Blue Box Epilogue lands the same day as the series' 28th and final volume.

Shueisha is listing two new novel adaptations for December 4. Nanao writes The Promised Neverland: A 10th Year Gift, a 10th anniversary novel following Emma and the other children after the manga's final chapter, with stories about Cislo and the Lambda group and about Phil and the younger children. The same author writes Blue Box Epilogue, set before and after that manga's ending, including Taiki and Chinatsu's drive and Hina in university rhythmic gymnastics.
Both books carry the same December 4 date. Blue Box's 28th and final compiled volume also ships that day, and the epilogue novel fills in material on either side of the manga's last chapter. For The Promised Neverland, the anniversary framing points backward and forward at once: the manga ran in Weekly Shonen Jump from August 2016 to June 2020, and its bonus one-shot chapter "War vs. Peace" ran in the magazine on August 24. This is the fifth Neverland novel and the third Blue Box one. Nanao wrote every earlier volume in both runs.
